It's a little before 8pm. I was checking the predicted weather and noticed
light northwest winds, and no precipitation overnight. Good night for
migration I thought. I checked the radar:

and noticed green around Binghamton, the radar source. When I animated
the map, the green started right at the radar source and radiated. I suspect
this indicates birds throughout the region taking flight and rising into the the
radar beams, which are higher the farther they are from the source.
